Twain's quote points out a powerful fact about the world, one that is as relevant today as it was then. The writer said that physical courage is prevalent more than moral courage. One would rather show physical strength to get his or her way, however, not many have the courage to take the moral route.

Twain subtly pointed at the importance of telling the truth.

When you tell a lie, you need to need to make up many others to conceal the first one. If order to keep everything under the wraps, you may need to remember every lie spoken. Twain's quote, however, offers a simple solution to that problem.

A decision taken by majority is honoured, however, it may not always be right. Therefore, an individual, whenever on the majority's side, must pause for a minute and reflect.

This quote is from Twain's book 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court'. The book was a satire on feudalism and monarchy, and celebrated the virtues of democracy.

The book follows the journey of its protagonist Hank Morgan who is transported to the past in the era of King Arthur's reign, after receiving a severe blow to the head. Morgan is initially confused due to the transformation, however, eventually he learns what exactly happened and tries to use the virtues of modernisation to make people's lives better.

This quote is from Twain's book 'A Tramp Abroad' - that was a combination of an autobiography and fictional events detailing the journey of the author and his friend through Southern and Central Europe.

The narrator (Twain) and his friend Harris set off on a trip with a goal to walk most of the way. However, they find themselves using various modes of transport. When the two enter Germany, Italy and the Alps, an array of humorous incidents unfold.
